"This comes from Cativelos in Serra de Estrela. This has smoky paprika with lift, flesh, acidity and nervy precise tannins that make this very cohesive and approachable with expressive fruit and focused tannins. Drink now. 2000 bottles."

"On the nose, strawberries and plums are lifted by floral notes, showing real brightness and purity. The palate is incisive, juicy and textural with a lively, mineral edge. Fun and super-approachable, with freshness, acidity and a subtle grip that keeps it engaging. 50% whole-cluster fermentation. Drink now."

"The young, pale and aromatic red 2024 Revela Alfrocheiro has a fantastic nose, elegant, perfumed and floral. It was produced with 50/50 destemmed and full clusters in a semi-carbonic maceration style, and the élevage was 50% in used 225-liter barrels and the rest in stainless steel, which seems to have given it extra depth and a new dimension. It has a moderate 11.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.62 and 5.4 grams of acidity, coming through as juicy, fresh and elegant. I like it very much. 1,240 bottles produced. It was bottled in April 2025."
